Description

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

3-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanal (CAS 136416-07-4), molecular formula C12H13NO and molecular weight 187.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanal is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 187.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 3-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanal under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
